    An old colleague sent me a video of Jaguar testing a new electric outboard powered tunnel boat. He knew this would be of interest to me because I wrote a feasibility study on electric outboards for Yamaha Motor Corp back in 2003. Disregarding the unnecessary drama from commentators, it's good to see automotive technology trickling into the marine environment...

    How is this a world record? The AMG electric Cigarette race boat is faster at 86 knots and a real 38' boat.

    Completely forgot about the AMG Cig! The record must be for a single outboard?
